At first glance, most mission trip insurance plans can look very similar. They may list similar benefit categories, similar price ranges, and similar promises. But when an emergency happens, the real differences between providers become very clear. In those moments, what matters most is not just what the policy says on paper, but how the company behind it actually operates.

When a church or group begins planning a mission trip, insurance is often one of the last decisions to be made.

Many travelers are experiencing unprecedented trip disruptions and delays this summer. To avoid unneccessary headaches

* Schedule ample connection time for all flights. A minimum layover of 3 hours for international flights is optimal.
* Choose mainline carriers whenever possible as economy airlines tend to be less reliable.
* Review airline policies and hold them accountable related to trip cancelations, delays and disruptions.
* Avoid the basic, economy ticket categories that do not provide any options for schedule disruptions.
* Enjoy the journey even in the midst of unexpected disruptions. God providentially knows all!
